Syfy confirmed the critically-acclaimed reality competition series Face Off – the channel’s most watched unscripted series – will return in January 2015 for an action-packed eighth season themed “Return of the Champions.” In a twist on the show’s traditional format, three former champions, Rayce Bird (Season 2), Anthony Kosar (Season 4) and Laura Tyler (Season 5), will return in the premiere and select teams of five new artists who they will coach throughout the season.
